Please, i would like to show back details after the user must have input something, back on alert dialog box in Android studio. I used this code below:
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.my_edit_txt);
editText.getText().toString();
But it doesn't show on the confirmation dialog box I created.
It looks like you didn't set the text of your AlertDialog, but this is just an assumption because there is not enough code in your question. Calling editText.getText().toString() does not do anything but return a String. It does not assign it to anything. An example with an AlertDialog would be the following:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setMessage(editText.getText().toString());
builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// User clicked OK button
}
});
builder.setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
// User cancelled the dialog
}
});
// Set other dialog properties
...
// Create the AlertDialog
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
I've took this example from Android Developers and modified it so that it includes the text of your EditText. This code should work because you not only call the toString() method but also assign it's return value to the AlertDialog's message property.
This is my entire code for the alert dialog box:
public void alertdialog(View view){
mybtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
AlertDialog.Builder cfmalt = new AlertDialog.Builder(Dashboard.this);
//cfmalt.setMessage("Do you want to quit?").setCancelable(false);
//editText.getText().toString();
cfmalt.setMessage(editText.getText().toString()+"\n"+ vol_edit2.getText().toString());
cfmalt.setMessage(dt.getMonth())
//cfmalt.setMessage("Name:").setMessage(vol_edit2.getText().toString());
cfmalt.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
finish();
}
});
cfmalt.setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialogInterface, int i) {
dialogInterface.cancel();
}
});
I am new to android development, I have got an weather app, My WeatherFragment class got below code, which is of a fragment class.
btn=(Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.button);
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
builder.setTitle("Change city");
final EditText input = new EditText(getActivity());
input.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
builder.setView(input);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
MainActivity obj=new MainActivity();
obj.changeCityLocation(input.getText().toString());
}
});
builder.show();
}
});
return rootView;
}
and I need to call changeCityLocation() which is in MainActivity, which code is:
public void changeCityLocation(String city){
WeatherFragment wf = (WeatherFragment)getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.container);
wf.changeCity(city);
new CityPreference(this).setCity(city);
}
I need to take the input and store in city variable when I click ok but it crashed. Thank you all in advance.
You are doing wrong here
MainActivity obj=new MainActivity();
Because this is not possible. All Activities in android must go through the Activity lifecycle so that they have a valid context attached to activity. so you have to use getActivity() method to get parent activity object and then cast it to MainActivity. like this
((MainActivity) getActivity()).changeCityLocation(input.getText().toString());
This will allow you to access Parent activity methods from fragment.
I knew this question has been asked but I couldn't solve it. I want to show simple AlertDialog on Android's Service. I can show it nicely on MainActivity but I had a problem on Service , Here is my code:
CustomMainActivity.java:
public void popupDialogMain()
{
final Context context = getApplicationContext();
Handler h1 = new Handler(context.getMainLooper());
h1.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
if (mBXmpp)
mBXmppService.popupDialogMain2();
}
});
}
XmppService.java:
public static void popupDialogMain2()
{
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(CustomMainActivity.this)
.setMessage("Look at this dialog!")
.setCancelable(true)
.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
//do things
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
builder.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT);
alert.show();
}
I get an error on this line:
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(CustomMainActivity.this)
Android Manifest:
I added this permission:
android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
And I get this error:
not an enclosing class: CustomMainActivity
Any suggestion to solve it?
You cannot access a this from a static method.
I've got a really strange problem where on some KitKat devices, my simple yes/no AlertDialog will appear behind the current fragment and not in the foreground. The reason I say the dialog appears behind the current fragment is because the dialog appears in the foreground only after I rotate the device. The app has a MainActivity that switches between different fragments that take up most of the screen.
MainActivity.java
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setMessage(getString(R.string.exit_confirm_summary))
.setTitle(getString(R.string.exit_confirm_title))
.setCancelable(true)
.setPositiveButton(getString(R.string.ok),
new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//...
}
})
.setNegativeButton(getString(R.string.cancel),
new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
//...
}
});
AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
dialog.show();
}
After doing some research I found that it is best to use DialogFragment when using Fragments in your app, so I changed my code to this:
MainActivity.java
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
AlertDialogFragment adf = new AlertDialogFragment();
adf.setRetainInstance(true);
adf.show(getFragmentManager(), "dialog");
}
AlertDialogFragment.java
public class AlertDialogFragment extends DialogFragment {
public AlertDialogFragment() {}
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
return new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity())
.setCancelable(false)
.setTitle("Alert DialogFragment")
.setMessage("AlertDialogFragment Test")
.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// ...
}
})
.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
// ...
}
}).create();
}
}
However, the effect is still the same. The dialog should appear when I press the back button, but is only visible after I press the back button and then rotate the device. It also becomes visible after I go home and come back into the app. I've noticed it only happens on a few devices but I'd like to get rid of this problem for good.
Note: this behavior happens for all dialogs in the app, not just this one.
Anyone have any ideas what is going on?
I have an alert dialog with a single-choice list and two buttons: an OK button and a cancel button. The code below show how I implemented it.
private final Dialog createListFile(final String[] fileList) {
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle("Compare with:");
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(fileList, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
Log.d(TAG,"The wrong button was tapped: " + fileList[whichButton]);
}
});
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {}
});
builder.setNegativeButton("Cancel", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {}
});
return builder.create();
}
My goal is to obtain the name of the selected radio button when the OK button is tapped. I tried to save the string in a variable, but inside an inner class it is possible to access only final variables. Is there a way to avoid using a final variable to store the selected radio button?
Using a final variable obviously won't work (since it can only be assigned once, at declaration time). So-called "global" variables are usually a code smell (especially when they become part of an Activity class, which is usually where AlertDialogs are created).
The cleaner solution is to cast the DialogInterface object to an AlertDialog and then call getListView().getCheckedItemPosition(). Like this:
new AlertDialog.Builder(this)
.setSingleChoiceItems(items, 0, null)
.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok_button_label, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.dismiss();
int selectedPosition = ((AlertDialog)dialog).getListView().getCheckedItemPosition();
// Do something useful withe the position of the selected radio button
}
})
.show();
This has been answered just fine, but I keep finding this answer from Google and I wanted to share a non-anonymous class solution. I prefer reusable classes myself and may be helpful to others.
In this example, I'm using a DialogFragment implementation and retrieving a value via a callback method.
The callback method to get values from a Dialog can be done by creating a public interface
public interface OnDialogSelectorListener {
public void onSelectedOption(int selectedIndex);
}
Also the DialogFragment implements DialogInterface.OnClickListener which means you can register the class you've implemented as the OnClickListener for the DialogFragment that is being created.
For example
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this.getActivity());
builder.setTitle(R.string.select);
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(mResourceArray, mSelectedIndex, this);
builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok, this);
builder.setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel, this);
return builder.create();
}
The line
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(mResourceArray, mSelectedIndex, this);
Creates a choice dialog with the options from a resource array stored in mResourceArray. This also preselects an option index from what is stored in mSelectedIndex and finally it sets this itself as the OnClickListener. (See full code at the end if this paragraph is a tad confusing)
Now, the OnClick method is where you grab the value that comes from the dialog
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch (which) {
case Dialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE: // Cancel button selected, do nothing
dialog.cancel();
break;
case Dialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE: // OK button selected, send the data back
dialog.dismiss();
// message selected value to registered callbacks with the
// selected value.
mDialogSelectorCallback.onSelectedOption(mSelectedIndex);
break;
default: // choice item selected
// store the new selected value in the static variable
mSelectedIndex = which;
break;
}
}
What happens here is when an item is selected, it's stored in a variable. If the user clicks the Cancel button, no update is sent back and nothing changes. If the user clicks the OK button, it returns the value to the Activity that created it via the callback created.
As an example, here is how you would create the dialog from a FragmentActivity.
final SelectorDialog sd = SelectorDialog.newInstance(R.array.selector_array, preSelectedValue);
sd.show(getSupportFragmentManager(), TAG);
Here, the resource array _R.array.selector_array_ is an array of strings to show in the dialog and preSelectedValue is the index to select on open.
Finally, your FragmentActivity will implement OnDialogSelectorListener and will receive the callback message.
public class MyActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnDialogSelectorListener {
// ....
public void onSelectedOption(int selectedIndex) {
// do something with the newly selected index
}
}
I hope this is helpful to someone, as it took me MANY attempts to understand it. A full implementation of this type of DialogFragment with a callback is here.
public class SelectorDialog extends DialogFragment implements OnClickListener {
static final String TAG = "SelectorDialog";
static int mResourceArray;
static int mSelectedIndex;
static OnDialogSelectorListener mDialogSelectorCallback;
public interface OnDialogSelectorListener {
public void onSelectedOption(int dialogId);
}
public static DialogSelectorDialog newInstance(int res, int selected) {
final DialogSelectorDialog dialog = new DialogSelectorDialog();
mResourceArray = res;
mSelectedIndex = selected;
return dialog;
}
#Override
public void onAttach(Activity activity) {
super.onAttach(activity);
try {
mDialogSelectorCallback = (OnDialogSelectorListener)activity;
} catch (final ClassCastException e) {
throw new ClassCastException(activity.toString() + " must implement OnDialogSelectorListener");
}
}
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this.getActivity());
builder.setTitle(R.string.select);
builder.setSingleChoiceItems(mResourceArray, mSelectedIndex, this);
builder.setPositiveButton(R.string.ok, this);
builder.setNegativeButton(R.string.cancel, this);
return builder.create();
}
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
switch (which) {
case Dialog.BUTTON_NEGATIVE:
dialog.cancel();
break;
case Dialog.BUTTON_POSITIVE:
dialog.dismiss();
// message selected value to registered calbacks
mDialogSelectorCallback.onSelectedOption(mSelectedIndex);
break;
default: // choice selected click
mSelectedIndex = which;
break;
}
}
}
Question from a comment How to call this from a Fragment instead of an Activity.
First make a few changes to the DialogFragment.
Remove the onAttach event since that's not the easiest way in this scenario.
Add a new method to add a reference to the callback
public void setDialogSelectorListener (OnDialogSelectorListener listener) {
this.mListener = listener;
}
Implement the listener in your Fragment
public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements SelectorDialog.OnDialogSelectorListener {
// ....
public void onSelectedOption(int selectedIndex) {
// do something with the newly selected index
}
}
Now create a new instance and pass in a reference to the Fragment to use it.
final SelectorDialog sd = SelectorDialog.newInstance(R.array.selector_array, preSelectedValue);
// this is a reference to MyFragment
sd.setDialogSelectorListener(this);
// mActivity is just a reference to the activity attached to MyFragment
sd.show(this.mActivity.getSupportFragmentManager(), TAG);
final CharSequence[] choice = {"Choose from Gallery","Capture a photo"};
int from; //This must be declared as global !
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(activity);
alert.setTitle("Upload Photo");
alert.setSingleChoiceItems(choice, -1, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
if (choice[which] == "Choose from Gallery") {
from = 1;
} else if (choice[which] == "Capture a photo") {
from = 2;
}
}
});
alert.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
if (from == 0) {
Toast.makeText(activity, "Select One Choice",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else if (from == 1) {
// Your Code
} else if (from == 2) {
// Your Code
}
}
});
alert.show();
As others have pointed out, implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0' it is more simply
Refere this material guide for more. https://material.io/develop/android/docs/getting-started/
CharSequence[] choices = {"Choice1", "Choice2", "Choice3"};
boolean[] choicesInitial = {false, true, false};
AlertDialog.Builder alertDialogBuilder = new MaterialAlertDialogBuilder(getContext())
.setTitle(title)
.setPositiveButton("Accept", null)
.setNeutralButton("Cancel", null)
.setMultiChoiceItems(choices, choicesInitial, new DialogInterface.OnMultiChoiceClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which, boolean isChecked) {
}
});
alertDialogBuilder.show();
Try this.
final String[] fonts = {"Small", "Medium", "Large", "Huge"};
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(TopicDetails.this);
builder.setTitle("Select a text size");
builder.setItems(fonts, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
if ("Small".equals(fonts[which])) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"you nailed it", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else if ("Medium".equals(fonts[which])) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"you cracked it", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else if ("Large".equals(fonts[which])){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"you hacked it", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else if ("Huge".equals(fonts[which])){
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"you digged it", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
// the user clicked on colors[which]
}
});
builder.show();
